[Verse 1] As the carefully created card tower falls I feel as if I’ve lost it all Hours of work Gone in a second Hands still holding the last card [Pre-Chorus] I watched it lean I watched it shake One small breath Was all it took [Chorus] Card towers (Card towers) Hours of work Fall down Card towers (Card towers) Hours of work gone to waste Card towers (Card towers) Fall down into heaps [Verse 2] I stacked each piece with shaking care Built it high on a table bare Every layer, every line I thought it would last the night [Pre-Chorus] But one wrong step One careless tap And the whole thing Came apart [Chorus] Card towers (Card towers) Hours of work Fall down Card towers (Card towers) Hours of work gone to waste Card towers (Card towers) Fall down into heaps [Bridge] Maybe that’s the way it goes Beautiful things can turn to cold Still I build with both my hands Even if they fall again [Chorus] Card towers (Card towers) Hours of work Fall down Card towers (Card towers) Hours of work gone to waste Card towers (Card towers) Fall down into heaps
